* FakeAmerican: [[Film/PineappleExpress Dale]], [[Film/TheGreenHornet Britt]], [[Film/ObserveandReport Ronnie]], [[Series/FreaksandGeeks Ken]], [[TakeThisWaltz Lou]] and [[Film/TheGuiltTrip Andy]], just to name a few of his characters.

* AccidentalPervert: He proposed to his wife while she was changing. Fortunately, she said yes.

* BrownEyes: Has a rather lovely pair, as you can see by the picture.
* CanadaEh
* TheComicallySerious: in his Freaks and Geeks audtion tape. He talks to the camera completely stone-faced while crew members are laughing offscreen.

* HappilyMarried: To Lauren Miller.
* HeterosexualLifePartners / ThoseTwoActors: With JamesFranco.
* HollywoodHomely: He is much cuter than the characters he plays.
* JewishAndNerdy
* NiceGuy: Is very dry-witted, but one of the most upbeat comedians in Hollywood. He's also very charitable, has campaigned for the importance of Alzheimer's research and cared for his friend when he had cancer.

* QuirkyCurls

* TheStoner: Is one himself.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Is ''31'', but looks much older. Look at him in ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks'' as carefully as you possibly can. He was only ''17'', but managed to look far, ''far'' older than all the actors on the show who weren't really teenagers.

* AnnoyingLaugh: Lampshaded by Jonathan Ross; "You've got an even weirder laugh than mine!"

** Does get annoying when you listen to his DVD commentaries. You might be sick of hearing his laugh after the 40th time.

* Typecasting: He is most cast as a laid back, foul mouthed stoner. This was even referenced in Film/ThisIsTheEnd which he co-wrote and co-directed; "You play the same character in every movie."

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Is ''31'', but looks much older. Look at him in ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks'' as carefully as you possibly can. He was only ''17'', but managed to look far, ''far'' older than all the actors on the show who weren't really teenagers.

* PlayingAgainstType: As disturbed, sociopatic Ronnie in ''ObserveAndReport'', awkward, sweet Ira in ''FunnyPeople'' and smart, straight-laced Andy in ''TheGuiltTrip''.

* AttractiveBentGender: When he was 15, he once had ADateWithRosiePalms to [[http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/when-he-was-young-actor-seth-rogen-once-masturbated-rupaul-photo040114-0 a photo of Rupaul]], not knowing that she's a DragQueen.

* TypeCasting: Name one movie where he doesn't play the same character over and over.

* AnnoyingLaugh: YMMV, but lampshaded on Jonathan Ross; "You've got an even weirder laugh than mine!"

* AccidentalPervert: He proposed to Lauren while she was changing. Fortunately, she said yes.
* AmericansHateTingle: Apparently not considered very funny in foreign markets, or at the very least his brand of humor simply does not end up translating well to those other cultures.

* MomentOfAwesome: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHqx3-mfHAY Testified to Congress]] on the importance of financial support for Alzheimer's research, using his celebrity and humor for a greater cause.

He started out doing stand-up before getting small parts in ''Series/FreaksAndGeeks'' and ''Series/{{Undeclared}}''. His first major role was in ''Film/TheFortyYearOldVirgin'', of which he was also a co-producer.

In 2011, he married screenwriter Lauren Miller. You probably don't know he was in Film/DonnieDarko either. His directorial debut with Goldberg, ''Film/ThisIsTheEnd'' came out in 2013.
